Taking fuel at Brisbane
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-08-31.
Brisbane treats bunkering as a berth service. Maritime Safety Queensland's port procedures state only that bunker, fresh water and waste services are available by a variety of means at berths, and refer operators to the Port of Brisbane Shipping handbook for the working detail, so plan to take fuel alongside at your working berth rather than at a dedicated bunker anchorage, and confirm barge-versus-truck and any simultaneous-operations limits with the supplier.
Ship-to-ship transfer is a separate, tightly drawn regime and is not a general bunkering route here. MSQ permits STS only for LPG carriers, at two named Moreton Bay anchorages (STS 1 and STS 2), in winds up to 25 knots, with the agent giving VTS at least 48 hours' notice and a 1,000-metre exclusion zone declared around the large vessel. So if your intention is to fuel at anchor rather than alongside, raise it with the supplier and VTS early, because the published procedures cover LPG STS, not open at-anchor bunkering.
- MSQ's Section 14 does not state whether bunkers are delivered by barge or road tanker, deferring the detail to the Port of Brisbane Shipping handbook
- MSQ does not publish a maximum stem size for bunkering
- The procedures give no at-anchor bunkering rule for conventional fuel oil; the only STS regime published (Section 10) covers LPG carriers
Ask the supplier to confirm these before you fix a stem on them.

Manila →That is Manila's price, not this port's, and the distance is a great-circle estimate rather than a routed passage. It is here because a benchmark you can see the distance to is more use than a blank space.
Indicative only. Typical stem time here is about 8 hours alongside.
